Reply to comment by Sks44 in Is it just be that found the trailer for "In Bruges" to be deceitful? by notoliberals

We are arguing semantics now. We have a different definition of what we consider "dark". Regardless, whatever "In Bruges" it wasn't what was promised in the trailer, and I am not the only one to think that. Browse reddit for "misleading trailers" threads and you will find this movie in a lot of them.

We aren’t arguing semantics. Guy Ritchie movies aren’t dark comedies. Monty Python has done darker shit that Guy Ritchie.

And, tbh, if you take are looking for a movies “tone” from a trailer, you don’t realize that trailers are not made by the filmmakers. They are made by outside companies.

I fully realise that. I am saying that whoever made it clearly intended to mislead people about the sort of movie it is. At no point did I suggest that the filmmakers are the ones responsible for it.

>Guy Ritchie movies aren’t dark comedies.

I consider them to be dark comedies. Perhaps not the darkest there are but they are still dark.

I love a good guy Richie movie but others are right in saying they are not dark. I’m not trying to pile on. I’m just pointing out that you calling these movies dark comedy is what lead to all the confusion. Just look for crime comedies

You're just using the wrong definition and I don't think you even know what dark humor is based on your comments.
